But I got a different challenge. I got the pillow with the tangle. But I kind of love a tangle challenge. The first rule of untangle: work the lowest (closest to you) tangle first. Work up. And I got there! I did a few stitches to stabilize the end and tied it off. I'll give it an Orvus wash later.
When we get the other piece we'll send it back to her. I hope she can do something nice with it. #BobbinLace #WIPWednesday 2/2
It's funny--every time I charge my car I look around to see if any local TV folks want my opinion about gas prices. Nobody ever asks....
For #FensterFreitag I have an odd set. But all fenster-related.
I was in downtown #Boston to visit the #Congregational church archives. I had no idea what they had there.
But I saw Benjamin Franklin's baptism record. And then out the window I could see his parent's memorial in the Granary Burying Ground.
But the building next door had these great deco windows and ornaments, so you're getting those too.
This #lace event filled up faster than they expected--so they have moved it from Zoom so they can host more people.
If you didn't catch it before it "sold out" before, you can try again now. Details in this Insta post.

Oh, yay! There's another community lace project with Maggie Hensel-Brown!

I had no idea that Candy Land was a response to #polio wards.
Fascinating and much overdue obituary of the game designer, Eleanor Abbott.
"Construction is finished on a major Massachusetts offshore wind farm, [Vineyard Wind], the first project to reach this stage during President Donald Trump's time in office.
Another one of the five, Revolution Wind, began sending power for the first time to New England's electric grid on Friday and will scale up in the weeks ahead until it is fully operational."
There's a free online #lace event coming up on Zoom next weekend.
Sunday, Mar 22 from 3 pm to 5 pm EDT
